Culture Buzz This is the same Ai Weiwei who was arrested by the Chinese government for his human rights activism, so, yeah…how dare he not be more involved.

While this is an impressive score, Vogt still trails this woman in the hotly contest sport of cavity smuggling.

A late night Cinemax film waiting to happen.
Since Friday morning, three volunteers have been spending a week in recreated 8x10 solitary “cells,” sharing their experience via live web cam and Tweets, as a complement to a National Geographic show about solitary confinement. My money's on Laura…or at least she's been most entertaining to watch.

Culture Buzz As if jail isn't bad enough, Charlie Manning also lost his penis and one testicle to a flesh-eating bacteria infection while he was serving time.

Culture Buzz Fascinating daily blog by a nameless inmate currently serving a life sentence in the Texas Penitentiary. He updates the blog daily with the help of a friend on the outside. The way it works is he hand writes and mails 5 posts once a week to a friend outside of the jail. His friend then types out a post for each day that week. You can post comments or e-mail the blog and the friend will mail all of them back to the inmate who can then respond to you through the blog.
Celebrity Buzz Lindsay’s papa Michael is ambiguously confirming one Montana woman’s claims that, while separated from Dina, he fathered Ashley, now thirteen. Michael allegedly wrote Ashley letters from prison, signing them with “Love, Daddy” despite his never having met her. This might give Joey Buttafucco stiff competition in the “Long Island’s Finest” department.
